Parasites are organisms that live and develop at the expense of other organisms. Living in a person, they consume nutrients and vitamins intended for their owners.
Wastes are poisons and toxins removed from the body. A person infected with parasites will systematically lose the nutrients necessary for the normal functioning of the body. In addition, it will face an additional burden by processing waste left by unwanted cohabitants.
More than 100 types of parasites can live in the human body. They can be of various shapes and sizes, from microscopic single-celled worms to several meter long worms. According to the World Health Organization, parasites and the consequences of their life in the human body cause about 80 percent of human diseases. According to some reports, up to 95% of our country's population is a carrier of unpleasant cohabitants in various forms, so we can safely say that every person faces parasites whether he wants it or not.
